on Sep 30 2006 10:32 PM When I saw the headlines I thought "The Spiderwick Chronicles" was the subtite to the new Bourne film. They could match, Spiderwick has a classic Bond villain name (Reply to this) |

on Oct 01 2006 06:54 PM ... you do realize the Bourne films are based on Robert Ludlum's novel trilogy? And are you really comparing Bourne with Bond? The two are miles apart as far as spy flicks go. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 02 2006 07:42 AM In reply to this comment (#845411) I thought I was making a stupid joke And yes the two are "miles" apart. The Bond films stresses loyalty as a spy, The Bourne films stress rebelion and questioning orders Also the Bourne films have been better then the past 20 years of crappy Bond films, (except maybe Goldeneye) (Reply to this) |
